no special diet required



Recommended Posts

My doctor is world recognized for being one of the best. He has not required anything from me. Has this happened to anyone else?

My Dr didn't put me on any special diet leading up to my surgery, just liquid diet the day before plus a laxative.

All doctors are different.

Good luck!

The diet is more to prepare you for surgery... but not everyone needs to do it. It's supposed to shrink your liver.

No special diet for me either.

My diet? Clear liquids the day before surgery, NPO after midnight. That's IT!!

Don't worry about not having to do a pre-op diet. Count your blessings.

My surgery date is May 4, 2011 at OSU medical center and my physician also did not require any type of diet. Just nothing to eat or drink after midnight.

I am getting nervous :(

Don't worry. My dr. didn't require any pre-op diet. Just stop eating and drinking by midnight. I'm almost 8 months since surgery. Down 75+ lbs. He did put me on a liquid diet for the month following surgery. Up until my first fill at 6 weeks. I guess that was to get me through bandster hell and to continue losing.

Good luck and don't worry

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
